So the only way Crabbe could have a positive effect on the team is if he's as good as the best SG of the past 15 years?
With the 5-6 minutes we insert him into the game for the hell of it? You'd have to reduce Wright's rotation time to zero for Crabbe to play enough minutes to make any difference at all. And when we're in the playoffs, this will definitely hurt since Wright is an experienced veteran who's won an NBA championship. Yes. Also you can look at historical 31st pick in the draft. http://www.hoopsworld.com/history-of-the-nba-draft-pick-number-31
hmm...looking at his playoff totals, he's actually only scored 5points in the playoffs in 7 games. lol. oh well, still doesn't change the fact he's way more experienced overall than Crabbe. Also, there's no real reason to do it, coaches know how Crabbe plays in practice.
I can live with it. He is struggling, but with vets you just don't bench them for unproven 2nd year guys who've played 12 minutes in their career. Especially when you are the hottest team in the league and the coach has a system in place. To call this coaching philosophy Bush league would be insulting to George W. Bush.
I thought Williams was going to be much more effective for us. I wasn't right about Mo, and I'm not happy that he's struggling right now. I thought Mo and Dorell would be better off the bench for us.
"Its a process". Just have to have patience with them. They're underperforming, but I think its more systemic than their individual skills as a player. They'll click eventually, its still fairly early in the season and we're sitting pretty.
Does anyone know of a stats site that has season long player +/- ? I think the bench is negative big.
Just give Barton's minutes to Crabbe. Does Crabbe play Wright's position, or guard? If Crabbe's a forward, give him Batum's time.
Have those who think "Wright is fine" have you been watching the games??? Sober??? He's been terrible! I looked at some threads about him from prior teams, and he's developed quite a few haters in his prior stops, for doing the same shit we've seen so far this year. Blowing layups, not boxing out, making goofy plays, being a streaky shooter etc... One guy quipped that he was going to set an NBA record for passing out of open layups. I know Wright looks good at first glance, he's long, athletic and can shoot, but he's really not a good player at all aside from being a solid shooter (and he's barely been adequate at that for us). Why do you think we got him so cheap? I'd actually like to see what Claver can do...he's no shooter, but he'd be better in all other areas I think.
Being a 1-dimensional player, just a shooter, put Rudy, Batum, Webster, etc. to sleep. Batum used to look uninterested until Stotts got him active without being a featured shooter. Stotts should do the same for Wright. Give him several nonshooting responsibilities. This will awaken his inner tiger.
